Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to shorten the prayer for an employee whose workplace is more than eighty kilometers from his home?
The Shaykh:
Yes, and is this poor man…?
The questioner:
From his home. He says it is far from his home.
The Shaykh:
The town from the inhabited part of the town, meaning it starts from the inhabited part of the town, not from his house. From the inhabited part of the town. If it is eighty kilometers from the inhabited part of the town to his workplace, he loses out, whereas if it is calculated from his home, no.
